4th of July Weekend

What an awesome weekend!  Though it was FREEZING, we still enjoyed a very nice Independence Day weekend.  Friday night started off by going to Chatauqua Park in Boulder.  It’s a historical landmark that began with some Texas teachers that wanted a summer retreat.  Very cool!  Anyway, we joined Katie and Trey’s parents for a progressive dinner at all the old houses there.  I had been to this park before, but never to all the little cottages.  If you ever get the chance, you need to rent of this places!  They are so cute and right next to the flatirons in Boulder.  

This picture cracks me up because Noah sat there saluting for quite a while.  I guess he’s just so smart, and he must’ve known that it was the 4th, so he was saluting our soldiers!

Up close and personal with the Boulder Flatirons

On Saturday, we were hoping to go to the pool.  However, the weather was MISERABLE!  I’m used to spending the day at the lake, but instead I was bundled up in sweatshirts and blankets just trying to keep warm.  We did enjoy the day though with our wonderful friends.  We had a great B-B-Q and watched some fireworks.  Noah did pretty well with the fireworks.  He only got scared because I scared him when I thought one of the fireworks was coming right for us.  Other than that, they didn’t phase him. 

Our first 4th of July together

We actually got most of the kids together to take a break from their sparklers to take a picture for us!

Trying to stay warm in Tami’s snuggie.  We were sitting by the fire making smores and I was still FREEZING!  It seriously was like a winter night in Texas.

On Sunday, we enjoyed some time at the pool.  Noah has this awesome new float that he likes to lay back and chill in.  We had a moment this day.  For once, Noah made the cheesiest smile yet!

What a fun weekend we had!  I loved spending an extra day with David and hanging out with our wonderful friends!
